Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.11-1
Severity: wishlist
While trying to find out what the best/official way for an audio
application to discover what devices are available on the system, I
stumbled upen a thread on alsa-devel [0] that states that the
right way to do this is to call the snd_names_list function, present
since ALSA 1.0.9.
This file relies on the existance of /etc/asound.names, which can be
generated by running 'alsactl names'. I suggest doing this whenever
an ALSA device is added to or removed from the system, thereby keeping
the file up to date at all times.
In case the administrator wants to modify the file, I suggest running
something like 'alsactl --file=/var/lib/alsa/asound.names' and having
/etc/asound.names be a symlink to that file; the link can be replaced
by a regular file if the admin wants to maintain it himself.
